Kindness TO Animals.

Listen to the words of a humane
Judge, spoken 200 years ago. ITO deny
domestic creatures their proper food,
to exact that labor from them which
they are not able to perform; to use
extremity or cruelty toward them, is a
breach of that trust under which the
dominion of the creatures was COM
mitted to us, and breach of that JUS
tice that is due from men to them.
And upon the same account / have
ever esteemed it breach of trust, and
have accordingly declined any cruelty
to Thy creatures. L have abhored all
sports that consisted in torturing them,
and if noxious creatures must be de-
stroyed, or creatures for food must be
taken. it hath been my practice to do
il in that manner that may be with the
least torture or cruelty, always deem
ing it unlawful to destroy for recrea-
tons sake those creatures that were
not hurtful when they lived, or were
not profitable when they were killed; ;
ever remembering that Thou hast
given us dominion, yet it is under a
law of justice, prudence, and modera-
ton, otherwise we should become
tyrants, not lords over Thy creatures. :"

Still The Craze.

The crazy quilt Juror is at an end,
and women whose intellect has not
been irr~etrieyably wrecked by its intri-
cacies are now turning their attention
to the kind of patchwork known as
Noah's ark. The quilt is of serge,
cloth, satin sheeting, or plain cream
sheeting, or, in fact, anything. The
Noah's ark is rather above the centre,
and the animals are, of course, arrang-
ed two by two, the elephant and
kangaroo" round and round the en-
tire quilt in such a way as to form a
design. Scraps of fur and embroidery
of silk and wool, with cross-stitch and
outline. or in what is known to art
workers as COUGHING, are all used in
the same piece of work. OF course,
much more ingenuity is required than
in the crazy quilt, without which 1T
would be a dismal failure.

Simply this: He is held for the pay

A CHASTITY Fireplace.

A Southside physician has capped
the climax of suggestions. He is ONE
thing of an artist in modelling in clay,
and after he got his Office supplied with
natural gas he made a cast of a scull.
The thing is horribly natural, even to
the sutures across the skull, and one
front tooth knocked out. This is set
up in the CRATE in such a way that the
blush crimson flames of the burning
gas steal through the eyes and n~ostrils
and flicker p~layfully around the ghast!y
jaws. Little jets of flame flash through
between the sunker jaws and tighten
up the bony countenance, heated to a
white-red heat in a manner horribly
suggestive of other fires, which are said
to burn, but not consume. - atsburg

night, and after registering at a hotel
proceeded to get on a very p~rotracsed

down on the commons to sleep off his
debauch. Next morning he vas found
to be in a most ~deplorable condition.
Some fiend had marked him for life.
Large holes. a dozen in number, had
been made in his face and neck. They
were half an inch deep. and were pro-
badly made with a lighted cigar Dr. a
red-hot iron poker. The poor fellow
was taken to the hospital, and suffered
mortal agony. It was bitter cold the
night he slept on the m and be-
sides his injuries, he was nearly frozen
to death. He reported his case to the
police, but it viii be nearly an impossi-
bility to find the fiend.

very pretty, but evidently Disguised

the young lady say, what place was

THERE was time when slxty-elght
steamboats, were employed in the Cum
berland river trade. When the "hush
time" comes again this city and all the
country along the Cumberland will
flourish as il did before politicians
learned the art of taxing every product
OF industry and forcing by monopolies
the products OF this country to be car
ried up grade by railroads to New
York instead OF floating with the cur
rent OF our rivers to its natural market
in New Orleans. In those good days OF
honesty there was no talk OF interstate
commerce and the public lands were
held as homes for actual settlers. The
world moves-society has IA smattering
of tinsel education and vice is holding
its own in the great race OF modern pie
ty against fashionable sin.
The following from advance sheets
OF Picturesque Clark,ville," splen-
did work, illustrated with portraits Of
distinguished citizens OF this city and
county which is now being issued by
the CHRONICLE press, gives correct
statement of the Cumberland river
trade IN 1887 to 1871:
"1he country was glorying in its rapid
development and new civilization about
this time. All the surplus produce for
fifty to seventy-fve miles back was
hauled TO the river for shipment, and
the people likewise received their gro
ceries, dry goods and other supplies Ivy
river transportation; railroad was not
dreamed of, and steamboats, we're the
only dependence for carrying on COM
nerce There were twenty-iour steam
boats registered in the Cumberland
river trade in 1887, and the number in.
creased up to the date OF railroading.
In 1888 and 1889 there were forty-three
steamboats, making trips to GAINESVILLE
and Nashville. The names Of the boats
registered in 1887 were Gladiator,
Mt Vernon, Bolivar, Memphis, Cum
berland, Emigrant, Nashville, Buffalo,
Waterloo, Tennessean, Rocky Noun
tain, John Randolph, Daniel Webster
Native, Shylock, Erin, w. L. Robinson,
New York, Lady Jackson, Dayton, Lii
ly, Detroit, Passenger and Constellation
The Randolph, Webster and Robinson
were perhaps the largest steamers in
the river, as it was seldom they could
go as nigh up as Nashville for lack o.
water. In February 1889, the John
Randolph left the GAINESVILLE wharf fol
New Orleans with SG4 hogsheads of to-
bacco, and took on 100 more at Eddy
vile, the largest cargo OF tobacco evel
carried from any port in the western
country. In 1889 the following add
tional steamers were registered in Tho
trade: Hermitage, Tuscumbia, Laurel

of the older boats not named in the lis
had dropped out, while the Randolph
and other large boats came only whei

plain and well expressed terms the fact
that as matter OF justice and sound
business policy the building Of all pub
lie edifices as wei! as n! private resi-
dences and warehouses should be given
to the mechanics and laborers of our
own city.
He further stated that as q token OF
their appreciation of the editorial
which WAS devoted to their interest the
mechanics had appointed himself and
Mr.. Young to deliver 10 Us an
elegant gold pen and pencil, the case
being Of richly carved solid gold. We
gave them then our thanks for thei:
kind appreciation of what we had
written, and we take this occasion tc
say that the recent destruction Of prop
